Boots had a fantastic brand name but one wonders if that will save it going forward. The longer a store lasts the better they will find themselves in the end as some shoppers still rely on the High St.

According to Kantar online is slowing now the market caps of online too high imo.

Look at M&S and Boots..
Although it's hard to see Amazon struggling any time soon

Its hard for anyone to maintain a top position for ever even the largest companies falter at some stage.

Neil Woodford forced to update the market tomorrow on his fund but press says there is zero chance of any withdrawals will infuriate investors.

If he allowed withdrawals everyone would look to exit at once so it would crash immediately.



Horrendous situation!

Hey ribit.. Hows your DEB investment going.. Still think 150p by xmas is possible?

How about YELL. Did you contact the shareholder action group regarding your losses there too. Another total wipeout... ouch.

Still, so lucky you have your investment in this solid "Oil-Gas & Kindergarten" Company RRL to fall back on. If you have invested here its bound to be another winner huh...

Just watch those shorters burn...

Analysts at UBS dropped online fashion retailer Asos from 'buy' to 'neutral' on Tuesday, telling clients that while it was turning more positive on the company's topline growth, it was less positive on its margins.

While the Swiss broker was ahead of the consensus in its 2019 sales estimates for Asos, its analysts said they were "more cautious" on the level of margin investment required to drive said growth.

Over the past six months, changes to pricing, promotions and newness had "significantly impacted Asos's top line and margins", according to UBS - which then went on to analyse how these were changing across eight markets.

UBS said that projections for improved customer acquisition through higher "newness" and more competitive pricing were behind its above consensus forecasts for topline growth in 2019 but it added that "the cost of growth doesn't seem to be easing".

The broker cut its target price on Asos's shares from 3,500p to 3,300p, explaining that its own data suggested the e-commerce powerhouse was investing more margin than previously expected in order to reaccelerate customer acquisition and growth in the US, leading it to assume it numbers would come in 20 basis points below margin guidance.

All in all, UBS said: "Ultimately, Asos's ability to deliver the future margin expansion expected by the market depends on CAC amortising over customer lifetimes.

"This year, customer acquisition cost has risen but we expect flat revenue per customer. Evidence of improving 'newness' in UBS Evidence Lab data, which Asos sees as a major driver of organic customer acquisition, is encouraging but we see no evidence to suggest this will be reflected in lower CAC."

Qantas ,Have the normal postmen been shafted?.

Rachel Reives chair woman of the committee, blasted the Royal Mail group over its decision to splash out £5.8 million on a “golden hello” for its new chief executive, Rico Back. The average starting salary for a postal worker is £23,000 and such a sum “could have hired 252 postmen and women.

Now thats a nice hello present .

Some of the comments section from the Mail on HOF :

johndrake, dublin, Ireland, a day ago

"their all failing prices time parking limited range who wants to shop in a shop anymore. shops and real estate are becoming worthless ..themed antique coffee houses and old tea rooms are a better investment "

New Comment


Morwenna, South Coast, United Kingdom, a day ago

"I visited the Bournemouth store recently and agree with the previous two comments. I shan't be visiting again. What a fall for a once great shop!"

Good morning all.

KNIGEL mentioning the House of Fraser short of stock looks to me like House of Fraser struggling.

The Mail article on the 22nd June suggests more HOF stores are likely to close the Hull store closing in the next few months.

Mike Ashley may have made a mistake buying stores when the outlook is worsening every day he has taken a huge risk.

I think the HOF stores taken on licence from the administrators so he is able to hand the keys back if stores do not perform.

Hull must be underperforming and probably loss making.
